The Tang army's bombardment came and went as quickly as it came. The five silver-white giant birds seemed to just circle around in the valley with a low cry, then flew away leaving behind devastated areas.
They did not look back, because there was no need to look back. If a fire was set off in such a barren mountain, the flames would be enough to devour everything else.
The white swans of the Tang Empire disappeared into the sky, leaving only the flames rising into the sky behind them. The "Black Crow Empire" that Sophia had worked so hard to manage was reduced to a sea of fire in an instant.
The originally lush forest was now swallowed up by the flames. The soaring fire turned half of the sky into blood red. The thick smoke was like a black python, rolling straight into the sky, blocking the sky and the sun.
The air was filled with a suffocating smell of burning, the sound of crackling and burning trees, the roar of collapsing building materials, and the panicked shouts and wailings of people intertwined into a tragic song of purgatory on earth.
The wild animals hiding in the forest instinctively jumped out of the sea of fire, making shrill screams and running towards a safer place. Behind them, the fire had completely spread, engulfing the sky and the earth faster than imagined.
Hitting the target is ten times faster.
The fire spreads incredibly fast, sometimes much faster than a person can run.
"Hurry up and put out the fire! Hurry up and put out the fire!" A charred man roared at the top of his lungs. His originally fair skin was now blackened by smoke, and several holes were burned into his clothes. The bucket in his hand had long been empty.
, the bottom of the barrel was even caught on fire by sparks, but he didn't notice it and just kept urging his companions.
"Water! Where is the water?!" Another man ran in panic. His originally clear eyes were now filled with bloodshot eyes, and his face was covered with ashes and sweat. He was waving a wet piece of clothing in his hand in an attempt to put it out.
The wall of fire in front of me kept approaching, but it was of no avail. I could only watch the bright red tongue of fire swallowing everything.
"My arm! My arm is broken!" A woman fell in a pool of blood, crying heartbreakingly. Her not-so-beautiful face was distorted at this moment, and a large piece of her hair was burnt.
, revealing a bloody scalp.
Scattered beside her were a few burnt Yinxiang flowers. The hope she had worked so hard for for half a year had now evaporated, leaving only the disgusting smell of burning.
Farther away, the Yinhuang flower field that had been engulfed by flames could no longer see its original appearance. Black smoke billowed over the field, covering all the evil here.
Although the people here are trying to save everything they have, all rescue efforts are destined to be in vain. After all, everything here is built of dry firewood, so they are equally vulnerable to fire.
The surviving Sophia's men were in a mess, crying and calling for help one after another. They were like headless flies, running around in the sea of fire, but there was nowhere to escape.
The flames were like gangrene attached to the bones, greedily licking everything about them, and fear was like a plague, quickly spreading among the crowd.
Some people tried to use simple tools to collect water to put out the fire. They took basins and buckets and got clean water from a creek far away. But in the face of the raging flames, a few buckets of water were just a drop in the bucket. The water had not had time to reach the flames.
It has been evaporated by the high temperature.
Some people even knelt on the ground in despair, kowtowing to the endless sea of fire, praying for the blessings of the gods and praying for miracles to happen, but the only response they received was the increasingly fierce fire and the desperate crackling sound.
.
"Boom!" With a deafening loud noise, a simply constructed ammunition depot was set on fire. The various ammunition stored inside were finally ignited by the high temperature, bursting out with fierce flames.
The shock wave generated by the explosion swept across a hundred meters in an instant, knocking people who could not escape in time and knocking them to the ground. Many people were killed on the spot. Their limbs and broken arms flew into the air, and were swallowed up by the flames, turning into a plume of smoke.
Behind the piled sandbags, no one was paying attention to the heavy machine guns pointing into the sky. The living people hurried past the bodies of the dead, without even having time to look back at the thatched houses with their roofs burned off.
The sparks brought by the explosion ignited more trees and buildings. The fire was out of control from the beginning, like a giant flame beast from hell, opening its bloody mouth to devour everything on this land.
All.
Next to the plantation is the manor that Sophia built for herself. This place is relatively more luxurious, but it is only compared to other simple places around it.
The villa built of wood looks unique. There are all kinds of luxurious furniture sent from thousands of miles away, as well as various luxury goods from the Tang Empire.
Now their owner has no time to care about these external things, and Sophia knows that she must leave now. If she stays for a while, the fire will spread to her face, and it will not be so easy to leave.
So she decisively gave up everything, got into the prepared car with her loyal men, and drove away without looking back.
Soon, the house she had just been in was ignited by the fire and instantly turned into a sea of fire. The raging flames greedily licked this sinful palace built with yin and black crows.
Thick smoke billowed out, blocking out the sky and the sun, making these buildings that were about to be reduced to ashes glow red, like a huge furnace.
The originally luxurious furniture and decorations, the precious calligraphy and paintings from all over the world, and antique furnishings left in these buildings were gradually engulfed in flames.
Those carefully manicured gardens and lawns, and those exotic flowers and plants that Sophia liked that were cultivated and maintained by dedicated personnel, all became the nourishment of the fire and turned into beating flames.
All sins are burning, all life is reduced to ashes, the air is filled with a disgusting smell, and the source that sends people to hell has finally become a part of hell.
"Put out the fire! Put out the fire quickly!" The desperate shouts echoed in the sea of fire, but they seemed insignificant and were soon drowned in the deafening sounds of burning and explosions.
Just like the desperate wails of those who ate black crows were ignored, the cries of those who planted black crows for Sophia also received no response.
No matter how they shouted, the flames would not show any mercy to them. The increasingly fierce fire, the mercilessly devouring flames, and the desperate crackling sound seemed to be mocking their powerlessness.
The end of the "Black Crow Empire" is coming, which is not good news for Sophia. But for the world, today should be remembered.
